Story and Script Submission Challenge


Theme: "Science Is Not To Be Messed With"

‍Do you have a story that needs to be told? I am looking for writers and creators to contribute to an upcoming Sci-Fi Horror/Suspense anthology film. This is your chance to gain priceless industry experience, practice your craft over the summer, and earn high-quality footage for your demo reel.

‍ ‍THE MISSION

‍ ‍My goal is to produce a series of short films (think Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt) to be filmed next year as we gain access to professional equipment. I want to take your ideas from the page to the screen.

‍ ‍THE PROMPT: “THE HUBRIS OF SCIENCE”

‍ ‍The core message must be: Science is not to be messed with. Beyond that, the story is yours. Whether it’s a biology experiment gone wrong, a rogue AI, or a terrifying discovery in a basement lab, bring us your best sci-fi suspense.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES‍ ‍

  • Format: We accept full scripts, beat sheets, or detailed treatments. No "random thoughts" please ensure your idea has a clear direction and a concluded story.

  • Length: Aim for a 15–20 minute runtime.

  • Budget-Friendly: We are working with a near-zero budget. Avoid "Avengers-level" action. Think grounded, character-driven stories that can be filmed in accessible locations.

  • Rating: Keep it PG-13. No nudity or extreme intimacy. Keep profanity to a sane, impactful level.

‍ ‍WHY PARTICIPATE?‍ ‍

  • Build Your Reel: Get professional-grade footage of your work.

  • Collaborate: Work with a team of fellow students to bring your vision to life.

  • Stay Sharp: Keep your creative gears turning during the summer break.

‍ ‍HOW TO SUBMIT

‍ ‍Send your submissions and info to:  submissions@sitefourentertainment.com

Deadline: Initial deadline is July 1st. This is a soft deadline, I made it early just in case folks need more time.

Let’s build something terrifying. Send us your best ideas!
